MLB All-Star Game live blog: Play-by-play, commentary and analysis

The 2014 MLB All-Star Game takes place tonight at Target Field in Minneapolis, and most, if not all, the focus will be on one man: Derek Jeter. The longtime Yankees shortstop and captain will be making his 14th and final appearance at a Midsummer Classic before his retirement at season's end, and in his ninth career All-Star start, Jeter will bat leadoff and play shortstop for the American League.

And on the line in Tuesday night's game: Home-field advantage in the World Series. Last year, the AL squad, featuring the last All-Star appearance of Mariano Rivera's career, shut out the NL, 3-0, earning the Junior Circuit last licks in the Fall Classic. The eventual World Champion Boston Red Sox took advantage of that honor, clinching a World Series in the friendly confines of Fenway Park for the first time since 1918. Will the AL once again down its Senior Circuit counterpart, or can the NL grab a win in AL territory? Tune in tonight, starting at 7:30 PM on FOX, and join us here to chat throughout the game. SI's Jay Jaffe, Cliff Corcoran and Jon Tayler will provide play-by-play, analysis and commentary throughout the game.
